What: Select a
“readily available” RE tool, install it and use it to test a piece
of software of your choice. Prepare a 1-2 page (single space) paper
discussing the tool. Format is your choice.
Tool
selection: You may choose any tool that you have free access to.
This basically means tools that are free or ones that you already
have installed on a local system. Most free tools are open source,
but there are a number that are made available by manufacturers
because they help sell their products (e.g., Microsoft) or they are
made available on a trial basis. Please remember to read any
licenses that you need to sign. While I have not seen any that are
problematic for class use, that doesn’t mean that they are not out
there
Software selection: I
recommend that you use software that does not require anything more
than a standard computer; special hardware, for example, will
complicate the activity.
Written report: The
report should be written as a review of the tool for someone
considering using it and include an analysis of the tool as it
relates to material studied. The review should include: Ease of use
What it does How well it does it How it relates to the field of RE
Recommendations for its use How it relates to the field of RE . For
example, is this a requirements validation or elicitation tool.
What principles is it built on? Does it support specific models or
techniques? What it covers?
